In this episode, Joey and I discuss LouCity's big home opener win v Lilleyball (and the fantastic atmosphere at the match), Racing's draw on the road in Houston (which had plenty of positives; it really feels like this team is going to break out soon!), and the USMNT continues their Jekyll & Hyde act while beating El Tri...

Happy Loucity Home Opener Day! Hope all is well in your world. In this episode, Joey and I delve into Loucity's victory on the El Paso Memorial Battlefield, Racing's home opener draw v Orlando last weekend which did have several positives, but ultimately ran into their odd issues with being ahead 2 - 0, several amateur teams winning in the first round of the US Open Cup, an announcement about our...

Holy moly, can it be ... Season Opener Day? Seems like a life time ago, right? In this very abbreviated show, Joey and I discuss the lead up to both Racing and Loucity's first league matches and ... well, tell ya what. Listen and enjoy :-)  We'll have full episodes soon! Thanks for listening, and remember to SHARE THE LOVE! 

Good day! March is right around the corner, which means it's almost time for the soccerzz! In this episode, Joey and I cover current Racing and Loucity events (we need more), the blue card proposal (confusing), and other stuff ... mainly the continued attempt by MLS to distance their league from everything else, primarily with their cynical attempt to break the very rules that govern the game here...

Hi everyone! Hope all is well in your world. In between periods of searching the Indy area for a couple of cats, Joey and I discuss general Racing and LouCity business (who look like they are off to a really good start), and then submerge ourselves into the train wreck that became the MLS Miami tour, Lindsey Horan's comments about US soccer fans (oooops), reminiscing about Slugger (do you miss it,...

Greetings from Fishers, Indiana! I love my new place. But it's only 100 or so miles from LFS, and that ain't far at all. In our first show of 2024, Joey and I discuss the numerous changes of both LouCity and Racing. Several key departures leave a lot of questions that need to be answered, but I think it's safe to say the mood is generally optimistic. Hopefully, you are looking forward to the seaso...

Good day! So ... are you ready to feast? What is your "go to" on Thanksgiving? Something Italian always forks for me. But anyway ... So, soccering for 2023 has come to an end. Many positives to look at for both squads in '24, but some questions as well. Joey and I delve into it as best we can. Who will Racing and Loucity hold on to?  As for the future, the plan is to kick back in after the New Yea...

Hi all! Extremely late after last week's game, but hey at least you have it ... better late than never, amirite? Joey and I discuss Loucity's Charleston experience and some other random musings. Season recaps coming up soon. You all are the best! Thanks for listening and as always, please remember to SHARE THE LOVE!

Good day! So after some of their trials and tribulations this season, who thought this would be happening? LouCity finds itself in yet another Eastern Conference Final ... again! Amazing. Joey and I cover the Playoff rout of Detroit City, the departure of Coach Kim from Racing, more MLS delusion, and by some miracle ... and by miracle, we mean a boatload of cash, Saudi Arabia is now "fast tracked"...

Good day! Here I was all packed up for the offseason and BLAM ... a home playoff game for Loucity! Joey and I discuss the last two matches which included yet another amazing post season penalty kick nail biter vs FC Elvis, Racing's season coming to an end in San Diego, and Jozy Altidore's hot take about the USMNT's 2014 team vs today (Someone get that man some help!). Hope to see you tonight at LF...

Good day! Whatever your pre-match superstitions are, we're gonna need them this weekend! In this episode, Joey and I discuss the Loucity draw v Hartford and Racing's tremendous comeback v Orlando. Short and sweet. Need that good mojo, friends! And please, more than ever, SHARE THE LOVE! 

Good day! In this episode, Joey I I go over Loucity's comeback win in Virginia as well as ... well ... whatever that was in New Mexico, Racing's rough performance in Chicago, the ticket price explosion in Miami, a 13 year old makes his professional debut in Sacramento, and how the World Cup is doing another weird thing (what's new?). Hopefully our fortunes turn this weekend and we leave LFS with s...

Happy Saturday! In a slightly abbreviated show, Joey and I discuss Racing's rough go against Houston, Loucity's win against the soon to be ex San Diego side and ... well ... probably the most disappointing loss in recent memory against the Miami team that doesn't have Messi ... as well as our top combined top X1 so far. No show next week since there would only be one match ... which should probabl...

Good day ... isn't it great that fall is certainly here! Sorry about last week; a combo of a laptop and electricity issues had me baffled, but I am unbaffled now .. and yes, that's a word ... Our guest this week is none other than the iconic Michael Bromilow, aka "Scouse"! We discuss the ups and downs the last couple of weeks of both Racing and LouCity, as well as some other interesting topics tha...

We discuss LouCity's late (and extremely satisfying) win against "Paul The Fall" and his Oakland side, Racing's point in Harrison New Jersey (which is also apparently known as Gotham? Wow, who knew), the growing craziness in Spain, thoughts on "When is a penalty REA...

Hi all ... are you staying hydrated? taking in as much A/C as possible? Yikes, it's hot!  In this episode, Joey and I touch on yet another blech-fest from LouCity, Racing fighting back for a draw against The Star Studded LA Wingy People, an all time USMNT top 10, and of course we discuss the World Cup Champion - Equipo Español !! Every now and then,  get one right 😉   Sty safe out there, and alwa...

Good day! What's on tap for our eightieth episode, you ask? We have Loucity draws, Racing season recap, and our top ten USWNT players of all time.  Sadly the USA is out of the tournament, but before I log on to work I gotta ask: So who's joining me on the SPAIN TRAIN ?!!?! Que viva España! :-) You have a great day, and always remember to SHARE THE LOVE!

Good day! If you are listening to this on the day it is released, sounds like we'll need rain gear for the Loucity game tonight, so be prepared! In this episode, Joey and I talk about another dominant Loucity performance, Racing's tough go in KC, and we do a deep dive into the USWNT's loss to Sweden and their unexpected early exit from the World Cup in Australia. Gonna be frank and honest with you...

Good day! As I deal with a sinus infection, Joey and I discuss LouCity's impressive dominance (and hopefully, reemergence) in the 1392nd (?) installation of LIPAFC, Racing's solid effort in Houston which sadly returned no result, and the USWNT's group stage matches against the Netherlands and Portugal, barely squeaking by the latter to manage to flop into the knockout round. A couple of other topi...

Hi, everyone! We're going to try and release these on Tuesdays for a few weeks and see how that works, as it is closer to the previous weekend's action. In this episode, Joey and I cover Racing's continuing impressive run of form after a great Challenge Cup win, LouCity's continuing woes, the USWNT's solid win to start the World Cup, Messi scoring a goal in some tournament that apparently no one i...
